Jökulsárlón, below Breiðamerkurjökull, is a major tourist destination with a deli, gift shop and large parking lot. There's plenty of waiting for tourists to move out of one's shot! The lake, a product of global warming, formed only about 60 years ago. At that time the glacier was only 250 yards from the sea and dropped icebergs directly into the Atlantic.

"Jökulsárlón and the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier have been part of the James Bond films A View to a Kill (1985) and Die Another Day (2002), as well as Batman Begins (2005) Beowulf and Grendel (2005), and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider."
